The Russian attacks come after months of a slower than expected Ukrainian counteroffensive, launched this summer to claw back territory lost during Moscow's invasion. Avdiivka is an industrial town that had a pre-war population of around 31,000. An estimated 2,000 remain. It is symbolically and strategically important to Kyiv, lying just north of the Moscow-controlled city of Donetsk that was seized by separatist forces in 2014. Avdiivka has since become a symbol of Ukrainian resistance against Moscow, with Kyiv clinging on there despite relentless Russian attacks during the Kremlin's almost 20-month long offensive. Local officials told AFP that Moscow's forces...
